It doesn't quite allay the concern -- it might be "language
version independent" as seen today --- but it'll effectively

"backward compatibility".
I would express an equivalent concern over the way CSS selectors
are presently tied into XBL -- it's also not clear in that
instance which version of CSS is being "bound" to.
